The sumitomo HTR ZII's are great priced for regular daily driving or drifting, although they tend to wear out fast. The ZIII's I havnt had a chance to test them out yet, you guys got me curious now

I've probably had these tires on for about 300 miles now. I think they're pretty nice, especially considering its low price. They're pretty sticky and they do very well in the rain, it seems. The car is a bit easier to control (in addition to better grip in the dry and rain) with these on, compared to my Nitto NT555 ZR Extremes.
They weren't kidding about the road noise. It's a bit louder than all other tires I've used (Yokohama, Nitto, Falken, Pirelli, Michellin, etc)
I don't do RR/AutoX, so I'm not sure if my opinion even matters, but just letting you guys know that these tires are pretty damn good, especially since it's so damn cheap.

I forget what sizes they make them in, but you can get the run flat MX for the vette and use it on your wheel if its the right size

MX has great rating in the rain... I gurantee you
I just went through the most bizzare summer in the world here in central texas. 29 inches of rain ddropped in the summer. I have a 120 mile commute through it all. Some days it droped 4-7 inches.
PS i have MX 275s on the front and 315 nittos drag radials on the rear....
My MX is very sticky when i get off the highway

The HTRZ II's are awesome tires at least for drag racing. I got 1.7 60 foot times with them in my 98 Z28, they have a thread wear rating of 220, really stick but wear out fast.
